Antonio Conte Shuts Door On Michy Batshuayi Loan Move

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that he won't allow summer signing Michy Batshuayi to go out on loan in January.

The 23-year-old is yet to start a Premier League game for the Pensioners, having managed just 76 minutes in eleven league games.

The young Belgian wasn't picked to start the game against Bournemouth on Boxing Day, in spite of the absence of Diego Costa, who missed the match through suspension.

It led to speculation about the Belgian being sent out on loan during the January transfer window. The manager though was quick to clarify his team's stance on the youngster, insisting that Batshuayi is going nowhere.

According to the former Juventus manager, sending a new player out on loan is a defeat for the club and he as a manager cannot allow that. Conte went on to reiterate his desire to continue working with Batshuayi and together try to improve.
